ولا تقربوا مال اليتيم الا بالتي هي احسن حتى يبلغ اشده واوفوا الكيل والميزان بالقسط لا نكلف نفسا الا وسعها واذا قلتم فاعدلوا ولو كان ذا قربى وبعهد الله اوفوا ذلكم وصاكم به لعلكم تذكرون

And come not nigh To the orphan's property, Except to improve it, Until he attain the age Of full strength; give measure And weight with (full) justice;— No burden do We place On any soul, but that Which it can bear;— Whenever ye speak, speak justly, Even if a near relative Is concerned; and fulfil The Covenant of God: Thus doth He command you, That ye may remember.
